This looks like a pile of dead people and I have been deleting the nazi who posts pictures of piles of dead Jews. Am I correct in my understanding of this image? If it is a pile of dead black people I think it is offensive and should be removed.

They are mannequins from a clothing store that shut down in the hood.

Ok, It just is hard to tell from the image... Sorry about that... I just have a thing about showing images of dead bodies or people in the process of dying. There is a principle in Judaism concerning respect for the dead, even the executed criminals body {See the mitzvah of not allowing a body to hang for too long}.

# Why is it a degradation to Hashem to hang a criminal's body on the gallows overnight?
21:23 - Because humans are made in Hashem's image; and because the Jewish People are Hashem's children.

For a hanged person is a curse to G-d (21:23)
This is a degradation of the Divine King in whose image man is created, and the Israelites are G-d's children. This is analogous to a case of two identical twin brothers. One became king, while the other was arrested for robbery and hanged. Whoever saw him, would say, "The king is hanging!"
(Talmud, Sanhedrin 46b; Rashi)

The Torah teaches: "If a man shall have committed a sin whose judgment is death, he shall be put to death, and you shall hang him on a gallows. You shall not leave his body overnight on the gallows, rather you shall surely bury him on that day, for a hanging person is a curse of G-d (kilelas Elokim)..." [Devorim 21:22-23].
The Mishneh teaches in the name of Rabbi Meir [Sanhedrin 46a]: "When man suffers, what expression does the Shechina use? 'My Head is too heavy for Me. My Arm is too heavy for Me.'" In other words, when man (even a sinner) suffers, G-d suffers. This, Rashi explains, is the meaning of the expression "Kilelas Elohim" – as if to say "Kal les" (not 'light', but rather heavy!) Rabbi Meir concludes: "If G-d is so grieved over the blood of the wicked that is shed, how much more so over the blood of the righteous!"
